The 30-year-old, according to Japan Running News, ran his 38th career sub-2:13 marathon on Sunday at the IAAF World Championships in London. The Japanese athlete ran 2:12:19 for ninth-place after falling near 23K, in the process losing considerable time. Japan Running News, via Twitter, reports that the performance was his 50th sub-2:15 and 65th sub-2:18 marathons, all world bests.

Kawauchi ran a smart race going through the first 5K in 65th spot. By the time the half-marathon point rolled around, he was in 20th, going through 21.1K in 1:05:37. He continued to pick off runners, making his way into the top-10 by the 40K mark and passing one other runner in the final stages of the race.

His lifetime best for the marathon is 2:08:14. Kawauchi is particularly popular in the athletics world because of how often he runs marathons as well as holding a full-time government job on top of his training schedule.
